I'm a bit confused about two Belkin products: F5D7230-4 and F5D7231-4. The
7230 mentions "54g" technology, but they both look like the same unit with
the same specs and are backwards compatible with 802.11b. Is this a
software upgrade or am I getting a different (better?) unit with the 7230?
Can anyone believe the claim of 1800' range?
